Safe and Compliant Asbestos Removal Services

Professional Removal of Asbestos-Containing Materials

Asbestos removal must be handled carefully. Disturbing asbestos-containing materials without the right controls can create avoidable risk for people, property, and the environment.

EMS helps clients assess the situation, understand the type of asbestos material involved, and arrange safe removal where required. Our team supports domestic, commercial, and industrial projects with asbestos removal services tailored to the material, site, and level of risk.

Safe Removal Starts with the Right Assessment

EMS helps identify the type of asbestos material involved and advises on the safest removal approach before work begins.

Licensed and Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal

Licensed Asbestos Removal

Some asbestos materials require licensed removal due to their risk profile. EMS can advise on whether licensed asbestos removal is required and how the project should be managed.

Non-Licensed Asbestos Removal

Some lower-risk asbestos-containing materials may be removed under non-licensed conditions, provided the correct procedures and controls are followed.

Not Sure What You Need?

If you are unsure whether a material requires licensed or non-licensed removal, EMS can assess the situation and explain the right next step.

Frequently Asked Questions About Asbestos Services

Find clear answers about asbestos surveys, testing, removal, waste disposal, and what to do if you discover suspected asbestos in your property.

Do I need an asbestos survey before renovation or demolition?

Yes, if the building was constructed before 2000, an asbestos survey may be needed before refurbishment, demolition, or intrusive maintenance work begins. EMS can advise which type of survey is suitable for your project.

What is the difference between asbestos testing and an asbestos survey?

Asbestos testing confirms whether a specific material contains asbestos. An asbestos survey is a more detailed inspection of a property or work area to identify asbestos-containing materials and provide recommendations.

Can EMS remove asbestos from domestic properties?

Yes. EMS provides asbestos services for domestic properties, including surveys, testing, removal, and asbestos waste collection. Common domestic materials may include garage roofs, floor tiles, textured coatings, soffits, sheds, and cement products.

Do you provide asbestos waste collection and disposal?

Yes. EMS can collect, transport, and dispose of asbestos waste safely and responsibly. The relevant waste documentation can also be provided for your records.

What should I do if I find suspected asbestos?

Do not disturb it. Avoid drilling, cutting, sanding, breaking, or moving the material. Contact EMS for advice, testing, or a survey so the material can be assessed properly before any work continues.
